That sounds highly unlikely, despite European pre-orders comfortably eclipsing the demand generated by the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge on the old continent in the days leading up to their own official launches. After all, the GS7 and S7 Edge barely achieved 100,000 unit sales in Korea within 48 hours of their retail store rollout.

10 million is exactly 100 times that, and although the term “pre-orders” is mentioned more than once in Sam Mobile’s latest report, we’re guessing reservations or registrations are the better words to sum up the seemingly incredible tally.

Bottom line, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge might be hugely popular in China, more so than their predecessors, the iPhone 6s and any other high-end device available, but they couldn’t have possibly totaled 10 million+ pre-orders already. Nor will they reach or surpass 15 million by March 18, when they’re slated to start shipping around those parts.

Adrian has had an insatiable passion for writing since he was in school and found himself writing philosophical essays about the meaning of life and the differences between light and dark beer. Later, he realized this was pretty much his only marketable skill, so he first created a personal blog (in Romanian) and then discovered his true calling, which is writing about all things tech (in English).
